Using smart guides combined with drawing the circle constrained and from center would lessen the number of steps quite dramatically. @Eddie Giese:

Might I offer one small suggestion? If you hold down Alt (Option on the Mac) with Shift while drawing the ellipse/circle it will draw from the center. With smart guides on, you can "snap" to the exact center of the gear to create the hole with one small step. No alignment is necessary that way. Could save some time... Thanks for your kewl and useful tips! Great tip! Might I offer one small suggestion?

It's definitely one of those things that are so easy to do once you've figured out the method, but you could spend ages just thinking about how to get to that point. Great tip, Niki!
